    Pressure test query?

    Hi all I’m having to fit a Stuart Turner pump to an install that will be fed from a tank. However, I’d like to get the install tested including the pump if possible but without it connected to the break tank, as that isn’t available at the moment. Would I have to bypass the pump to test the...

    Low pressure mixer spray tap recommendations ?

    I'll be installing a new kitchen, DIY, and the Mrs wants a mixer tap with a switchable spray/regular flow. No pullout with hose but more like one with a spiral round the outer hose that lifts out of a mount and you can move it about a bit. Something like you see on catering sinks. Now stay with...

    water pressure problem, unvented system

    I'm trying to sort out a problem with low water pressure at my elderly parent's house where they have an unvented system. I got a plumber in about a month ago who repressurised the system, after which it seemed better. However there still seems to be a problem, which is most noticeable with the...

    well suction negative pressure

    My pump is lifting water about 20 to 25 ft through 1-1/4" pipe at about 800' above sea level. Can anyone calculate the negative pressure at the pump for me? I'm just not that bright. I've recently installed a check valve near the pump and am having some issues with the system sucking air...

    Pressure tank running when no water is used

    I'm on a well with a pressure tank. Should the tank run if no water is being used? My tank cycles even when no one is using water for showers, toilets, etc.

    Boiler pressure on EcoTec keeps rising

    Hi All, I have a problem with my 10 year old EcoTec boiler. The pressure keeps rising to over 3 bar every few days. To get it running again I am releasing about a cupful of water from a radiator to get it below 3 bar. The filling loop is disconnected and I’ve noticed water from the pressure...

    How can I check if my pressure pump is working ?

    Hi Guys , Had a valliant engineer out as I could not add any water to my boiler and it’s sitting on 1bar when I used to have more than this and could easily top the boiler up with the two switches underneath. I live on the fourth floor and when I moved in we had a brand new GRUNDFOS Type...

    Water pump to regulate high pressure?

    Hi, I'm looking for a water pump to pump water from a storage tank at a constant 3 bar pressure. It's at a campsite I run that's at the bottom of a long, steep hill. We struggle with very high and often fluctuating (around 7 bar) water pressure, which wreaks havoc with our water heaters. I've...

    Central heating losing pressure all the time

    Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...

    Toilet flush pressure question

    Hello, I have a question on flush pressure. When I press the bigger button, there's hardly a flush. I understand that's normal but it's a very minimal flush. And then the smaller button is quite hard to press and I think doesn't do a full flush either. So when I flush I press both and it works...
